TimelyScholarServices › Mixed-Methods Research Analysis
Qualitative and mixed methods analysis, from interview coding and thematic analysis to integrating qualitative and quantitative findings.
Qualitative data analysis turns interviews, focus groups and open-ended responses into credible, well-evidenced themes. Mixed methods research goes a step further and integrates those findings with quantitative results, so each strand explains the other.
We code transcripts in NVivo, ATLAS.ti or MAXQDA, develop codebooks, and carry out thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach or content analysis, as your design requires. For mixed methods studies we apply recognised integration principles such as joint displays.
Systematic coding of transcripts, with an audit trail of how codes were developed.
Braun and Clarke-style thematic analysis, from familiarisation to defined, evidenced themes.
Qualitative or quantitative content analysis with clear coding rules.
Project set-up, coding, queries and exports in NVivo.
Coding and network views in ATLAS.ti.
Coding, memos and mixed methods tools in MAXQDA.
A codebook with definitions and examples that makes coding consistent.
Interpretation that links themes to your research questions and the literature.
Synthesis of published qualitative studies for reviews.
Integration of qualitative and quantitative results, including joint displays.
We confirm your questions, approach and the data you have.
We set up the software project and code the data.
We review, define and name themes with supporting quotations.
For mixed methods, we integrate strands and show how they relate.
You receive a findings chapter and the project files.
Our methods follow published standards from recognised authorities, so your work holds up to supervisors, examiners and peer reviewers.

A method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Braun and Clarke's 2006 paper describes the widely used six-phase approach.
Thematic analysis interprets patterns of meaning. Content analysis codes and often counts content against defined categories. We use the one that suits your question.
Yes, as well as ATLAS.ti and MAXQDA. You receive the project file.
A table or figure that places qualitative and quantitative results side by side to show how they relate, one of the integration practices described by Fetters and colleagues.
Yes. You receive the codebook and an audit trail so examiners or reviewers can follow how themes were developed.
Yes. Your files are stored privately and only the people working on your project can open them. We sign a non-disclosure agreement on request.
Yes. After delivery you can request refinements within the agreed scope directly from your client dashboard.
